I
j~1 I 1.Field of the Invention: This invention relates to a bar code for representing merchandise or other information.
2.Description of the Related Art: Conventionally, in preparing products by cutting a continuous length of tubular or rod-shape work into separate pieces of a predetermined length, it has been a common practice to provide a bar code on each product in the following method.
In one conventional method, labels or the like bearing bar codes are glued to the individual products after cutting.
oo I In another conventional method, a number of bar codes are previously provided on the tubular or rodshape work at regular distances, and then the tubular or rod-shape work is cut at predetermined positions in such a manner that each separate product has one of the bar codes.
i 0 In the former method, each label has to be glued exactly to the predetermined position of the respective product. When automatically reading out the bar codes on the products, it would be impossible to read the bar code if glued off the predetermined position.
-IA-
i I_ Attaching the labels to the correct positions of the individual products one after another would result in an increased cost of production.
According to the latter method, highly printing and cutting precision would be necessary. It should be preferable to obtain as many products from a single work in an effort to reduce the cost of production, but this would lower the yield as errors accumulate.
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No.
Hei 3-3068 show a method of providing a ring-shape bar code on a tubular or rod-shape article. However, this method also has the same problem as the foregoing methods when cutting a continuous length of Si i work into product lengths. Further, if there is non- :'continuity at the joint of opposite ends of a bar code due to slippage when the bar code is glued or printed in a ring shape, an error in reading would occur when scanned this joint section.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION IT -is threfore an o Gb 4-e- 4th4s i*iwe--+e_-nprovide a bar code which is free from any re ction on the cutting positions and the ps-cutting detecting positions when aining products by cutting a continuous 1 of tubular or rod-shape work.
ording to a first aspect of the invention, -2th-rc is p-rov ided a baP -code for being-provided -2 de x r The present invention provides a bar code device comprising, an elongated member having a circumferential surface and at least a predetermined longitudinal length, and a bar code spirally provided on the circumferential surface of the elongated member, said bar code extending completely around an entire area of the circumferential surface of the elongated member in said predetermined longitudinal length so that when a sensor for reading the bar code is moved in a longitudinal direction of the elongated member for the predetermined longitudinal length, the bar code is readable by the sensor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 shows a belt-like article la wound in a tubular shape. On the surface of the belt-like article la, there is continuously printed a bar code 2 composed of a number of parallel bars extending longitudinally along the entire length of the articles la.
15 FIG.2 shows the belt-like article la wound on the 6 outer circumferential surface of a tubular paper work 4 spirally about the center line of the tubular work 14.
The tubular work 4 may be used as a container, a core on which a string or the like is to be wound, or a core on which a paper or cloth sheet is to be wound.
To manufacture such a roll of string or sheet, a long S* tubular work having the foregoing spiral bar code 2 is prepared, whereupon the string or sheet may be wound on the tubular work and then the resulting tubular work may be cut into product rolls of a predetermined length. Alternatively, the tubular work -6h 7 may be cut first and then the string or sheet may be wound on the individual tubular work of a product length. Since the spiral bar code 2 extends continuously along the entire length of the tubular work 4, the same bar code 2 appears on the core of every product roll even if the original tubular work is cut off at any longitudinal successive position, thus requiring no high precision for cutting position.
In any of the illustrated examples, the principles of this invention is applied to a mimeographic stencil W. In the case where a roll of mimeographic stencil W having the foregoing bar code 2 is loaded on an automatic mimeographic printer, as shown in FIG. 3, part of the tubular core 4 should be exposed from one end of the roll of mimeographic stencil W so that the bar code 2 appearing on the outer circumferential surface of the exposed tubular .1 core 4 is read by a sensor 5 to obtain merchandise information about the product, i.e. the mimeographic stencil W. High precision is not required for positioning the sensor 5, and it is possible to reliably read the joint-free bar code 2 by making a complete rotation of the roll of mimeographic stencil W with respect to the sensor FIG. 4 shows an example in which a belt-like article 1b similar to that of FIG. 1 is used as a roll 7- L 1 i- of packing paper. By winding the belt-like artic) Ib spirally on the outer peripheral surface of the roll, it is possible to obtain a bar code 2 of the same construction as the tubular core 4 of FIG. 2. On the surface of the belt-like article 1b, the maker's name 3, for example, may be printed. If the bar code 2 can be optically read out, this maker' name should be printed in a color ink which cannot be read by an optical sensor.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show a tubular core )a of a roll of mimeographic stencil W. The belt-like article la is attached spirally on the inner circumferential surface of this tubular core 4a. Thuts the bar code 2 appears inside the tubular core 4a.
I 15 In the case where a roll of mimeographic stencil W having the tubular core 4a is loaded on an automatic mimeographic printer, the tubular core 1a and thus the mimeographic stencil roll W is rotatably supported by a non-illustrated frame via a holder 6. As it is 20 inserted into an axial hole 6a of the holder 6, a sensor 7 detects the bar code 2 on the inner circumferential surface of the tubular core 4a. In p l this case, like the case of FIG. 3, since the bar code 2 appears likewise at any position on the inner circumferential surface of the tubular core 4a, the sensor 7 can read the bar code 2 reliably while the tubular core 4a makes a single rotation, thus -8requiring no high precision for positioning the sensor 7.
FIG. 7 shows a substantially endless bar code 2 is wound spirally on the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical work 8.
As is apparent from the foregoing embodiments, according to this invention, the spiral bar code extends continuously on the inner or outer circumferential surface of the tubular work or the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical work.
With this arrangement, at whichever longitudinal positions the work is cut into product lengths, every product will have the same bar code. Further, since the bar code for the individual product appears on the 15 entire circumferential surface of the product, high precision is not required for positioning a sensor.
If the bar code extends more than one revolution about the center line of the product, the direction of relative movement of the sensor may be either axial or circumferential, as shown in FIG. 8.
Further, a continuous bar code 2 to be provided on the circumferential surface of a work may include either a number of bar codes of different kinds (2a: 2b) or a number of bar codes of the same kind (2a =2b).
In the foregoing illustrated embodiments, the bar code is composed of bars which can be optically read out. However, this invention may be applied also to -9- L bar codes which can be read otherwise, i.e., magnetically, electrostatically or mechanically.
Further, in the foregoing embodiments, both the tubular work 4 and the cylindrical work 8 are circular S 5 in cross section as taken along a plane perpendicular to the center line of the work. Alternatively, as long as it is not beyond the detectable range 11 of a sensor 9, the cross-sectional shape of the work may I be polygonal or of any other shape, as shown in FIG.
10, with the same operation and result as the illustrated embodimunts.
According to the bar code of this invention, when preparing a number of products by cutting a tubular, i rod-shape or belt-like work, it is possible to realize a great degree of freedom for the cutting positions and/or the detecting position.
FIG. 11 shows a continuous length of belt-like j ^article 21 wound in a tubular shape. On the surface of the continuous belt-like article 21, there is S, 20 continuously printed a bar code 22 composed of a "r number of parallel bars extending longitudinally along o Hthe entire length of the continuous belt-like article 21. Since the bar code 22 extends along the entire length of the continuous belt-like article 21, the same bar code 22 appears on every individual product length of belt-like article 21, irrespective of the cutting positions.
L--
FIG. 12 shows a belt-like article 21a having the same bar code 22 as that of the belt-like article 21 of FIG. 11 and attached ;n the outer circumferential surface of a paper tubular work 24. Alternatively, the bar code 22 may be printed directly on the circumferential surface of the tubular work 24.
The tubular work 24 may be used as a tubular container such as shown in FIG. 16, a core on which a string is to be wound, or a core on which a paper or cloth sheet is to be wound. To manufacture a roll of string or sheet, a long tubular core having the abovementioned bar code 22 should be prepared, whereupon the string or sheet is wound on the long tubular core, too 1and then the resulting long tubular work is cut off S0 15 at predetermined distances. Or the long tubular core itself is cut off at predetermined distances and then the string or sheet is wound on every product length of tubular core.
In this embodiment, since the bar code 22 extends along the entire length of the long tubular work 2J4, the same bar code 22 appears on the core of every product length of roll at whichever positions the resulting long tubular work 24 is cut off, thus requiring no high precision for the cutting positions.
In any of the illustrated examples, the principles of this invention is applied 'o a mimeographic stencil. £n the case where a roll of -11- 1 mimeographic stencil W having the foregoing bar code S22 is loaded on an automatic mimeographic printer, as shown in FIG. 13, part of the tubular core 24 should be exposed from one end of the mimeographic stencil roll W so that the bar code 22 appearing on the outer circumferential surface of the exposed tubular core 24 is read by a sensor 25 to obtain merchandise information about the product, the mimeographic stencil W. High precision is not required for positioning the sensor 25, and it is possible to reliably read the joint-free bar code 22 by making a complete rotation of the mimeographic stencil roll W with respect to the sensor j iFIG. 13 shows a tubular core 24 of a roll of 15 mimeographic stencil W. The bar code 22 appears on the outer circumferential surface of the tubular core 24.
In the case where a roll of mimeographic stencil having the tubular core 24 is loaded on an automatic mimeographic printer, the tubular core 24 and thus i 20 the mimeographic stencil roll W is rotatably supported by a non-illustrated frame via a holder 26. The sensor 25 detects the bar code 22 in the outer Scircumferential surface of the tubular core 24. Since the bar code 22 appears likewise at any position o the outer circumferential surface of the tubular core 24, the sensor 25 can read the bar code 22 reliably while the tubular core 24 makes a single rotation, -12- II i II I I I. i, II U i a itr thus requiring no high precision for positioning the sensor 25. FIG. 14 shows a example in which a beltlike article 21b similar to that of FIG. 1 is used as a roll of packing paper.
By winding a belt-like article 21b similar to that of FIG. 1 on the outer circumferential surface of the roll, it is possible to obtain a bar code 22 of the same construction as the tubular core 24 of FIG.
12.
On the surface of the belt-like article 21b, the maker's name 23, for example, may be printed. If the bar code 22 can be optically read out, this maker's name 23 should be printed in a color ink which cannot J be read by an optical sensor.
Though there is no illustration in the drawings, i t ,if the sensor and the roll are relatively moved 4 4 circumferentially of the roll, the bar code 22 can be read by the sensor, at which time high precision is i| not required for positioning the sensor.
As is apparent from the foregoing embodiments, according to this invention, the bar code parallel to the center line of the tubular or cylindrical work continuously extends on the inner or outer circumferential surface of the tubular work or on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical work. Regarding the belt-like article, the bar code extends continuously along the article.
-13- With this arrangement, at whichever longitudinal positions the work is cut into product lengths, every product will have the same bar code. Further, since the bar code for the individual product appears on the entire circumferential surface of the product, high precision is to required for positioning a sensor.
Further, a continuous bar code 22 to be provided on the circumferential surface of a work or on the surface of a belt-like article may include either a number of bar codes of different kinds (2a or a number of bar codes of the same kind (2a =2b).
In the foregoing illustrated embodiment, the bar code is composed of bars which can be optically read out. However, this invention may be applied also to o 15 bar codes which can be read otherwise, i.e., .,o°°magnetically, electrostatically or mechanically.
Further, in the foregoing embodiments, both the i tubular work and the cylindrical work are circular in cross section as taken along a plane perpendicular to the center line of the work. Alternatively, as long as it is not beyond the detectable range 11 of a sensor 9, the cross-sectional shape of the work may be polygonal or of any other shape, as shown in FIG. with the same operation and result a. the illustrated embodiment.
